Leading turnkey casino and games provider Microgaming has launched a unique Australian-style advanced video slot game through its licensees.

Branded THUNDERSTRUCK (TM) this innovative and exciting 5 reel, 9 payline video slot is exclusive to all Microgaming's Viper powered casinos, making it a strong

vehicle with serious appeal for slots players looking for big thrill, high win and fresh interest.

The theme is the Age of Mythology, where the Norse god of Thunder rules over his kingdom with an electric gaze and a fist of steel! Thor symbols really are wild, and Scatter Rams can reward the player with 15 free spins (and another 15 within that for the really fortunate) with all wins inside this bonus tripled. Lightning striking not once but thrice. And the player can finally put Thor's Hammer down by gambling his or her winnings on the Gamble Feature, choosing colour or suite and going after a x2 or x4 increase on winnings.

Intermediate to experienced players will be attracted to this outstanding new product, with its advanced game features, digital sound and dynamic graphics and animations. The game is the product of extensive and original software development and combines high volatility and excitement on several levels through free spins. The action is boosted by the chance to double or quadruple winnings that can climb as high as $10 000.

Microgaming's Mark Fredericks says, 'Thunderstruck is based on the revolutionary Viper software platform which gives players a number of advanced features such as quick spin and wagering flexibility enabling up to 45 coins of various denominations to be wagered on each spin. Viper also offers a host of assists and customising options to the player, adding more appeal to an already formidable package. There is nothing even remotely like this outstanding product on the Internet, and it is sure to be a major attraction.'
